Protective Summer Base

Now that it is the peek of summer down under, it gets hotter and more humid every day. Finding a foundation that won't slip and slide especially for my oily skin girls is hard. I use the Garnier BB Cream and it works great but the only downside is the color match. It tends to come out real pink against my skin tone, so I put it back to my inventory. 

PHYSICIANS FORMULA: Youthful Wear

I have never tried anything from Physicians Formula before so I thought it is about time. I'm not familiar with the brand until I started watching Tati from GlamLifeGuru on youtube. She talks about the shimmer strips and mascara in green tube in her earlier favorites and tutorials. So after awhile of convincing myself, I finally jumped in the bandwagon. Physicians Formula came out with a bunch of new line including Youthful Wear and Nude Wear line. I got interested in both line because of the packaging! I swear it lures you in! There are two types of foundation in Youthful Wear line, the Youth- Boosting Foundation (RP:$14.35 USD) which is in a squeezy tube and comes with the brush. (for more information about the foundation click here) The second one which is what I purchased is the Youth- Boosting Spotless Foundation (RP:$14.35 USD). This foundation claims to reduce spots, look 10 years younger, 12 hour wear, instant spotless coverage, etc. Judy from itsjudytime did a review on this product and thats what sold me into purchasing it. (for more information about the foundation click here) I purchase Physicians Formula at iherb. Use promo code DBG049  and get $10 off your first purchase.

The foundation is watery and very light weight. But I am surprised with the coverage it gives! I have a lot of active acne, acne scars, and darkspots to cover and the foundation did a good job covering it with 2 thin layers! I would say it is light- medium coverage. I applied the foundation using the Real Technique's Miracle Sponge (damped). It has a velvety feel into it and looks natural. My shade was in medium, I must say though that it's a pink tone foundation but once it oxidize it kind of blends into your natural skin tone. I wore it all day today and it surprisingly kept me grease free. I would recommend this to everyone with any skin type! It is a good everyday foundation with a very affordable price!

Thanks for stopping by!
